Solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear generalized Pochhammer–Chree and regularized long wave equations

In this paper, we implement some fast and high accuracy numerical algorithms to obtain the solitary wave solutions of generalized Pochhammer?CChree (PC) and regularized long wave (RLW) equations. We employ the discrete Fourier transform to discretize the original partial differential equations (PDEs) in space and obtain a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in Fourier space which will be solved with fourth order time-stepping methods. The proposed methods are fast and accurate due to the use of the fast Fourier transform in combination with explicit fourth-order time stepping methods. For RLW equation we investigate the propagation of a single solitary and interaction of two and three solitary waves. Moreover, three invariants of motion (mass, energy, and momentum) are evaluated to determine the conservation properties of the problem, and the numerical schemes lead to accurate results. The numerical results are compared with analytical solutions and with those of other recently published methods to confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the presented schemes.     

On solitary waves in plasma

From the equations of hydrodynamics and electrodynamics, a system of coupled nonlinear equations governing the propagation of plane electromagnetic waves in a collisionless electron plasma is obtained. It is shown that solitary wave solutions exists for both the longitudinal and transverse components of the electromagnetic field. It is found that the velocity of the electromagnetic vector solitary wave depends on the amplitudes of all components of the field linearly. The relations among the longitudinal and transverse components that support the solitary waves are determined for different values of plasma temperature. It is shown that while transverse solitary waves cannot exist, except when they are supported by longitudinal waves, the latter can exist by themselves. The interaction of the longitudinal solitary waves with each other is studied and an upper bound on the amplitudes of these waves is obtained. A Lagrangian density function and two conservation laws for the longitudinal wave equation are found. Frequency spectra of the solitary waves are calculated and their low frequency content is emphasized.     

Weak oblique collisions of interfacial solitary waves

A third order perturbation solution is developed to describe the interaction between two solitary waves approaching each other at an angle close to 180 ° on the interface between two immiscible inviscid homogeneous fluids. The solution is steady in the frame of reference moving with the point of intersection of the waves. To lowest order, the solution consists simply of the superposition of the undisturbed solitary waves. Second-order collision effects include interaction terms localized near the point of intersection and a phase shift in the solitary waves. In addition to corrections to the phase shift and localized interaction terms, third order effects are found to include a wave train that is stationary in the frame of reference moving with the point of intersection of the solitary waves. The amplitudes of the wave train and localized interaction terms diminish with distance from the point of intersection, and the solitary waves recover their initial shape asymptotically long after the collision. Thus, the only long-term effect of the collision is a phase shift.     

The generalized Boussinesq equations and obliquely interacting solitary waves in a stratified fluid

In this paper, on the basis of Boussinesq’s shallow water theory, we establish the basic equations governing the motion of a stratified fluid, a kind of the generalized Boussinesq equations. And then by way of them, we study the weak interaction of two pairs of obliquely colliding solitary waves, give the second-order approximate solutions for wave profiles and maximum amplitudes, as well as conclude that when the included angle between the directions of propagation of impinging solitary waves is less than 120°, the effect of oblique interaction is stronger than that of the head-on one, but when the angle concerned is greater than 120°, the former is slightly weaker than the latter.     

On head-on collison between two gKdV solitary waves in a stratified fluid

In this paper, using the reductive perturbation method combined with the PLK method and two- parameter expansions, we treat the problem of head- on collision between two solitary waves described by the generalized Korteweg- de Vries equation (the gKdV equation) and obtain its second-order approximate solution. The results show that after the collision, the gKdV solitary waves preserve their profiles and during the collision, the maximum amplitute is the linear superposition of two maximum amplitudes of the impinging solitary waves.

Frontal collision of internal solitary waves of first mode

The dynamics and energetics of a frontal collision of internal solitary waves (ISW) of first mode in a fluid with two homogeneous layers separated by a thin interfacial layer are studied numerically within the framework of the Navier–Stokes equations for stratified fluid. It was shown that the head-on collision of internal solitary waves of small and moderate amplitude results in a small phase shift and in the generation of dispersive wave train travelling behind the transmitted solitary wave. The phase shift grows as amplitudes of the interacting waves increase. The maximum run-up amplitude during the wave collision reaches a value larger than the sum of the amplitudes of the incident solitary waves. The excess of the maximum run-up amplitude over the sum of the amplitudes of the colliding waves grows with the increasing amplitude of interacting waves of small and moderate amplitudes whereas it decreases for colliding waves of large amplitude. Unlike the waves of small and moderate amplitudes collision of ISWs of large amplitude was accompanied by shear instability and the formation of Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) vortices in the interface layer, however, subsequently waves again become stable. The loss of energy due to the KH instability does not exceed 5%–6%. An interaction of large amplitude ISW with even small amplitude ISW can trigger instability of larger wave and development of KH billows in larger wave. When smaller wave amplitude increases the wave interaction was accompanied by KH instability of both waves.

A kind of new algebraic Rossby solitary waves generated by periodic external source

In the article, by employing multiple-scale, perturbation method, a new model is derived to describe the algebraic Rossby solitary waves generated by periodic external source in stratified fluid. The local conservation laws and analytic solutions of the model are obtained, and the breakup properties are discussed. By numeric simulation, some problems on the generation and evolution of the algebraic solitary waves under the influence of periodic external source are theoretically investigated. The results show that besides the solitary waves, an additional harmonic wave appears in the region of the external source forcing. Furthermore, the periodic variation of the external source forcing can prevent solitary waves from breaking. Meanwhile, the detuning parameter has an important effect on the breakup of the algebraic Rossby solitary waves.

Bilinear Bäcklund transformation,Lax pair and interactions of nonlinear waves for a generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in nonlinear optics/fluid mechanics/plasma physics

In this paper, outcomes of the study on the Bäcklund transformation, Lax pair, and interactions of nonlinear waves for a generalized (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in nonlinear optics, fluid mechanics, and plasma physics are presented. Via the Hirota bilinear method, a bilinear Bäcklund transformation is obtained, based on which a Lax pair is constructed. Via the symbolic computation, mixed rogue–solitary and rogue–periodic wave solutions are derived. Interactions between the rogue waves and solitary waves, and interactions between the rogue waves and periodic waves, are studied. It is found that (1) the one rogue wave appears between the two solitary waves and then merges with the two solitary waves; (2) the interaction between the one rogue wave and one periodic wave is periodic; and (3) the periodic lump waves with the amplitudes invariant are depicted. Furthermore, effects of the noise perturbations on the obtained solutions will be investigated.

     

Wave number shocks for the leading tail of Korteweg-de Vries solitary waves in slowly varying media

The leading tail for slowly varying solitary waves for the perturbed Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is analyzed. The path of the core of the solitary wave is obtained and shown to provide a moving boundary for the leading tail. The leading tail is predicted to be triple valued within a penumbral caustic (envelope of characteristics) caused by the initial acceleration of the core. A rescaling in the neighborhood of the singularity shows that the solution there satisfies the diffusion equation. The solution involves an incomplete Airy-type exponential integral, where critical points (significant for Laplace's asymptotic method) satisfy the structure of the penumbral caustic. A wave number shock develops, which separates two different solitary wave tails, one due to the moving core and the other due to the initial condition. The shock velocity is that predicted from conservation of waves.     

Numerical simulation of solitary waves overtopping on a sloping sea dike using a particle method

Sea dikes, as a commonly used type of coastal protection structures, are often attacked or damaged by violent waves overtopping under tsunamis and storm surges. In this study, the behavior of solitary waves traveling on a sloping sea dike is simulated, and solitary wave overtopping characteristics are analyzed using a complete Lagrangian numerical method, the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method. To better describe the complicated fluid motions during the wave overtopping process, the original MPS method is modified by introducing a new free surface detection method, i.e., the area filling rate identification method, and a modified gradient operator to provide higher precision. Meanwhile, the approximation method for sloping boundaries in particle methods is enhanced, and a smooth slope approximation method is proposed and recommended. To verify the improved MPS method, a solitary wave traveling over a steep sloping bed is studied. The entire solitary wave run-up and run-down processes and exquisite water movements are reproduced well by the present method, and are consistent with the corresponding experimental results. Subsequently, the improved MPS method is applied to investigate the overtopping process of a single solitary wave over a sloping sea dike. The results show that the hydraulic jump phenomenon is also possible to occur during the run-down motion of the solitary wave overtopping. Finally, the characteristics of the propagation and overtopping of two successive solitary waves on a sloping sea dike are discussed. The result manifests that the interaction between adjacent solitary waves affects wave overtopping patterns and overtopping velocities.

Numerical study on Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem for 1D shallow-water waves

Beginning with the first mode as the initial condition, long-term evolutions of gravity waves in shallow water are simulated based on the full nonlinear Boussinesq model. Evident recurrence is observed in long basins with appropriate initial amplitudes. Equipartition can be obtained in the case of a long basin, large initial amplitude or a long evolution time. Well-defined solitary waves are present during the recurrence stage and completely lost at the equipartition stage. The transition from regular to chaotic motion is conjectured to be related to the ratio of the dispersion and nonlinearity of the initial condition. For short basins with small initial amplitudes, nonlinearity is much smaller than dispersion, energy transfer is weak, and no recurrence can be observed. If dispersion and nonlinearity are chosen to be the same order in the initial condition, recurrence clearly emerges. However, if nonlinearity is chosen to be larger than dispersion, recurrence is absent and the system reaches equipartition rapidly.     

Behavior of perturbations of solitary and periodic waves on the surface of a heavy liquid

In [1] a system of equations was obtained for the case of a potential motion of an ideal incompressible homogeneous fluid; the system described the propagation of a train of waves in a medium with slowly varying properties, the motion in the train being characterized by a wave vector and a frequency. A solitary wave is a particular case of a wave train in which the length of the waves in the train is large. In [2, 3] a quasilinear system of partial differential equations was obtained which described two-dimensional and three-dimensional motion of a solitary wave in a layer of liquid of variable depth. It follows from this system that if the unperturbed state of the liquid is the quiescent state, then some integral quantity (the average wave energy [2–4]), referred to an element of the front, is preserved during the course of the motion. This fact is also valid for a train of waves, and can be demonstrated to be so upon applying the formalism of [1] to a Lagrangian similar to that used in [2]. In the present paper we obtain, for the case of a layer of liquid of constant depth, a solution in the form of simple waves for a system, equivalent to the system obtained in [3], describing the motion of a solitary wave and also the motion of a train of waves. We show that it is possible to have tilting of simple waves, leading in the case considered here to the formation of corner points on the wave front. We consider several examples of initial perturbations, and we obtain their asymptotics as t→∞. We make our presentation for the solitary wave case; however, in view of our statement above, the results automatically carry over to the case of a train of waves.     

Solitary Waves in Nonlinear Beam Equations: Stability,Fission and Fusion

We continue work by the second author and co-workers onsolitary wave solutions of nonlinear beam equations and their stabilityand interaction properties. The equations are partial differentialequations that are fourth-order in space and second-order in time.First, we highlight similarities between the intricate structure ofsolitary wave solutions for two different nonlinearities; apiecewise-linear term versus an exponential approximation to thisnonlinearity which was shown in earlier work to possess remarkablystable solitary waves. Second, we compare two different numericalmethods for solving the time dependent problem. One uses a fixed griddiscretization and the other a moving mesh method. We use these methodsto shed light on the nonlinear dynamics of the solitary waves. Earlywork has reported how even quite complex solitary waves appear stable,and that stable waves appear to interact like solitons. Here we show twofurther effects. The first effect is that large complex waves can, as aresult of roundoff error, spontaneously decompose into two simplerwaves, a process we call fission. The second is the fusion of twostable waves into another plus a small amount of radiation.     

Soliton-like interaction governed by the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation

Soliton-like interaction for a class of generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations is investigated in this paper. Deviation of the solution from a known integrable system is evaluated, starting from the same initial condition. The main features exhibited by the numerical results tend to confirm the soliton-like interaction, accompanied by a fine oscillatory structure between two solitary waves. Expressions for some characteristic parameters of interaction are then established based on these results. Effects of the fine oscillatory structure is also analyzed by means of the two-scale method.
